The Sweater

Out of stock

250 Euro. The fabric is 100% wool. The color is a light grey. It's one size. The fabric is washed before sewing – you don't need to wash it before wearing it. For cleaning the wool it is perfect to air the sweater. It is not necessary to wash it. If you want to wash it – only by hand and only in cold water. This sweater is carefully hand-sewn by me in Berlin. Each piece is a bit different and has small irregularities. That is welcome and part of the project. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

I am sewing these sweaters since some years now. First for me, then for friends, then someone in Japan was interested in. I am interested in Fashion since my youth. I like sewing, especially by hand. I like to work with my hands. I like simple things you can wear for years.

If you are interested in a sweater, please let me know: anneschwalbe.berlin@gmail.com

Please allow 7 days for shipping - the sweater is sewn by hand and it takes some time to make one.

Schwalbe photographs her surroundings intuitively, with no preconceived ideas. Compiled in a publication or hanging together in an exhibition, the photos become the lines of a poem. Anne Schwalbe visualizes stillness, providing another voice and a welcome change from the contemporary visual bombardment. With no reference to location or other narrative aspects, she reveals what has caught her notice, or the things that fascinate her. (…) each image has its own strength and tells its own story in the mind of the viewer. Foam Museum for Photography Amsterdam

The images although void of any narrative reveal an enormous amount of curiosity and intensity. Also the delicate presentation of the book as a collection of loose leaves seems more than adequate to the subject matter. This is an absolute gem. Photographers’ Gallery London

Berlin-born photographer Anne Schwalbe recently put a pair of new prints up for sale on her website. Her work is very serene, capturing the simplicity of nature's small beauties and putting them through subtly altered states as part of the printing process. Ryan Willms / Inventory Magazine

The ethereal nature of photography at its best. Bruno Ceschel / Self Publish Be Happy

From the mystic to the banal, each photograph is somehow able to captivate the viewer, with a strange and eerie depth to the images, ghost-like and compelling. Bemojake / Maxwell Anderson, London

Anne Schwalbe´s ›Wiese‹ (meadow) - Flowers, grasses, ferns - they are simply there and radiate in an unnamed grassy paradise. Almost too beautiful to be true. The clear layout, the particular choice of materials, the special finishing - everything contributes to the fact, that we step on this meadow slowly and cautiously, look around in peace and can enjoy the often overlooked gems. Every E-Mail, my friend Wolfgang Beinert sends, ends with the words: EVERYTHING GOOD IS FRAGILE - SAVE IT! This also is the message of Anne Schwalbe´s WIESE. Hannes Wanderer / 25books Berlin
